Hello time.  
I am trying to communicate from Ansible AWX to FortiGate VM64-AZURE.

In fortigate I have already configured the changed user’s ansible key. I configured the user to have root privileges.

When I run the playbook, the error message is showing:

**TASK [gather basic system status facts] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*16:22:37**

**9**  
**fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: “fortiosapi module is required”}**

Below I will post the playbook I am using.  
**— -**  
**hosts: localhost**  
**vars:**  
**host: “172.22.X.X”**  
**username: “XXXX”**  
**password: “XXXX”**  
**vdom: “root”**

**tasks:**  
**- name: gather basic system status facts**  
**fortios\_facts:**  
**host: “{{ host }}”**  
**username: “{{ username }}”**  
**password: “{{ password }}”**  
**vdom: “{{ vdom }}”**  
**gather\_subset:**  
**- fact: ‘system\_status\_select’**  
**…**

I’m trying to understand how AWX communicates with FORTIGATE and how I can run the playbook without the error presented.  
Can someone help me?
